. That frame mount looks super strong... and the design can be altered as needed to make it go wherever it has to go to meet up with other engines...

My body man was a damn good one and did lots of fiber glass cars. Maybe you should have thought some before posting, like maybe the body I got was no where close to what we looked at.

Manual

I have one and would be glad to send it to you. I'm a long haul truck driver and won't be home for a couple of weeks or so but send me your info and i will send it.

The manual leaves a lot to be desired IMHO. If you have built a car before, You would be better off without it, if not you will need help. Look at the car real close, measure fenders, make sure each side is the same. My car one back fender flared out 1" at the bottom, I had to make a v-cut in the fender and running board to push it in. There was also a big dip in front of the Pass. door that I had to fill in. and the front fenders were not the same, and there was no way to fix them but cut them off and put someone else's fenders on it, so you had to cut them both the same, plue I had spent many hours fitting that grille shell, so I cut that out and cut the new fenders to match.

I used 15 gallons of resin and countless feet of fiberglass. fixing what I found wrong with the car. One other thing I did not like was the window openness of the doors. I took channel that the felt would fit in a started at the bottom of the doors and went from front to back. I weld little tabs on them, ground into the glass all around the window opening a little deeper than the tabs, then used a 2 part epoxy that will adhere metal to fiberglass, it gets so hard you have to use 36 grit sandpaper on it, I also put it at the bottom opening with rubber cat whiskers on 2 metal pieces of sheet metal, now my doors are very strong and the wind noise should be gone. Before this you could squeeze the inside and outside of the door together at the bottom of the window, now it's as strong as a metal car.

Putting a big block in it, I would go through and re-weld every weld, plus I would add gussets, I did it to mine and I only have a 302 F.I.ed in mine. I cut the frame work out for the rear-end so I could put a Jag. in it.
